Maru Tarang
Jeff Lang: Guitars & Vocals
Asin Langa: Sindhi Sarangi & Vocals
Bobby Singh: Tabla
Bhungar Manganiyar: Khartal
Deep in the deserts of Rajasthan, Australian artists Jeff Lang & Bobby Singh met Asin Langa & Bhungar Manganiyar. Spanning continents and genres, a remarkable collaboration commenced- Maru Tarang. A virtuosic repertoire including traditional Rajasthani songs refreshed by Australian roots; seminal blues by Robert Johnson enriched by Indian flavours; soulful expressions through deep, original and fiery improvisations and compositions. These artists have developed their music to be all they need to converse, sans a common language... and the conversation is stunningly eloquent.
Maru Tarang has performed in India (Jodhpur RIFF), Scotland (Celtic Connections), Spain (Womex) and Australia (Parramasala).
And the press said....
Hypnotic grooves that ebb and flow... complex, ancient tales that leap and falllike flickering flames. (Jenny Valentish, **** Time Out)
Rising, twisting, gaining in volume and vigour, like a slowly waking cobra.. (Sarah Pritchard, Alt Media)All tracks produce virtuosic musical conversations involving thrilling exchanges... (Tony Hillier, Rhythms)
Mesmerising... (Folk Radio UK)
